Well guess what it has a 3 in rip and I was going to just sew it but for 90$ it seems stupid for me to sew it. Is this a sign that this keeps happening. What does it mean because this couldn't be happening to everyone else 4 times in a row now. maybe the spirits know that I like buying and returning over and over. You have to do something with your time insanity is doing the same thing over and over...🖐 Well I've worked in plenty of factories. The machines usually go full tilt and sometimes at the worst of times there is one or two people doing the entire process of the product or packaging the product. Sometimes these places get temporary workers that are working minimum wage from temp agencies. They're surprised when you last a week. Knowing the whole process of some of these places I'm amazed we ever get anything in good condition really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I would think he wanted to go somewhere where it was quieter so he could hear me better. Ya, maybe...but there were other indications that I didn't pick up on until too late as well. My thick-headedness had a cumulative effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Yeah if there ever was a time where flying cars might become mainstream it's now. You're never going to talk to someone that says I love to fly on a plane unless they are the pilot and this year they've been taking something that most people already hate and making it worse and also plenty of people have been ripped off by airlines that just basically cancel people's flights with a sorry about your luck resoponse with no refunds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkd_sd Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I just spent approximately two hours on a government website trying to find how to get a paper copy of the information I need sent to me. The answer to "What's On Your Mind Right Now?" is 'Aaauuuggghhh!!!' (Not even enough brain cells left for cussing!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kogent5 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hard to express how thankful I am (for many reasons, not just what's happening today) that the US rejected my family for immigration and we ended up in Canada instead. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samadhiSheol Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The S hit that hit the fan in the U.S of A. What democracy has come to. How an idiot who's name rhymes with dump was voted into office by more idiots. How same idiots are undermining their own values and they can't even see it. Another nail in humanity's way over due coffin. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) I told someone I care about yesterday when he showed up I'm glad to see you're ok on a day like today. That's how I feel here. I'm glad to come here and see the people I care about make any post about anything and show they're here and ok after yesterday.

If the cat is not happy neither am I I know how you feel. I can't get anyone on the phone either. It's very hard feeling like you're completely alone in the world during these hard times especially when you know you're a good person and you've done absolutely nothing to deserve this treatment. I don't know what to say anymore. It makes me very sad how cold and uncaring people can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watalife Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 @sober4life I just blocked his number therefore I won't be expecting any calls. And if he does leave a message and expects a response, it will be "i'm too busy right now to have a casual conversation!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the cat is not happy neither am I FYI -- Cat toys can be cheap and easy to make. Think along the lines of things to reach into, dry treats (or dry cat food), and small 'items' to find or swat at. Examples: Cardboard core from roll of paper towels -- put a few kernels of dry cat food inside as close to the middle as possible, and lay it on the floor. Squarish paper bag -- roll down twice from the top to create a 'rim'; then set on the floor with a few kernels of dry cat food, a couple small toys, a ball (or wadded up piece of paper), and/or a length or two of ribbon in it. You do not even need to show the items to the cat. He/she will 'discover' it due to the smell of the food or treats. They think they are so smart when they find something 'all by themselves'. One of my cats went bonkers over a lid from a pill bottle that I had dropped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APFSDS Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 At times I regrain some form of clarity and feel as if I want to make people happy. But then the clouds descend and the fog obscures my sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watalife Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) @jkd_sd I was talking about stuff for me thanks for all the ideas but I have one that mine likes a lot. My cat likes to steal my straws out of my drinks so I came up with taking a straw and cutting it into two 2inch pieces then I attach them onto the metal hook of the cat rod. the rod is 3 ft and the string is 2-3 ft Edited January 7, 2021 by watalife 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sober4life Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Well I'm a rebel. I've been smartphone free for 2 years now. You just have to have one. Do I? Most people need to fit in.

Bulgakov Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) I read a while ago about the inauguration ride. The president and the newly elected traditionally have ridden together to the ceremony. I don't know if that's been true in contemporary times. They rode first in carriages, then in cars. A handful of revolving presidents have refused to attend before. But a number of others have shared a very frosty ride. Wikipedia reports that in 1933, Hoover and Roosevelt, didn't utter a single word to each other during the drive.
